1 Corinthians 12:23
“Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;”
Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 12
21
The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you.
22
No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23
Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;
24
whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
25
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
